Dedicated to the men and women of the United Stares armed forces, the Veterans Service Program is an initiative by Trout Unlimited to connect our members with recovering soldiers and disabled veterans through fly fishing and cold water conservation. In partnership with Project Healing Waters and others, TU members are teaching the basics of fly fishing and fly tying, and providing an introduction to our conservation issues, leading to many on stream outings throughout the country. The VSP brings healing, hope and rehabilitation to those who have given so much to protect our freedoms.
